Luis E. Raez: Sometimes new agents don’t have a better OS but they provide benefits
Luis E. Raez, Medical Director at Memorial Cancer Institute, shared a post by Stephen Liu on X:
“Sometimes new agents don’t have a better OS but at least if they provide a benefit like PFS and the toxicity profile it’s better, those are good benefits for our patients instead of using a 25 year old agent!
Let’s see the data.” .
Quoting Stephen Liu’s post:
“TROPION-Lung01 press release: Trop2 ADC datopotamab deruxtecan vs docetaxel in previously treated NSCLC, previously met PFS endpoint, does not meet OS endpoint but shows clinically meaningful OS benefit in nonsquamous subset.
Need to see full dataset.”
